Take the mall to Datang

The production of the winery has never stopped. The winery of the Ministry of Economics and Development does not conflict with the winery of the imperial court, but the marketing needs to be carried out by the Ministry of Economics and Development. After all, Li Shimin cannot give all the existing benefits to the Ministry of Economics and Development Well, if that's the case, it will be difficult for him to be an emperor. It's all for the sake of increasing the treasury. It's not good to favor one over another.

Yuan Shan naturally knew this, but these things were not easy to take out for nothing, so he directly used the method of purchasing patents from the Ministry of Economics and Development to purchase them. Yuan Shan made a lot of money. Although it felt a little awkward, it was okay. Ah, let's say people in Tang Dynasty are not very interested in inventions.

Flower petals, spices, traditional Chinese medicine, as long as the materials that can be brewed, Yuan Shan is not hesitant to use them to make new salvation, and even let doctors from Datang Medical College join the ranks of making medicinal wine.

At first, they thought that the medicinal wine of the Yuan family was the model. After several months of research, the types of medicinal wine suddenly increased from a few to hundreds, and there are dozens of clinical medicinal wines. Now some medicinal wines have been sold in Lantian Pharmacy. It's on sale, because of production issues, it is still unable to supply merchants with state sales rights.

However, with the extensive application of high-level wine purification technology, these things can be resolved with time.

When Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, he still remembered what Yuan Shan said: what kind of person you want to be depends entirely on how you choose, but at the same time, you also need to bear all the consequences for your choice.

"Where are you going, His Royal Highness?" It was Yu Zhining who spoke.

Chapter 513 Mining Authorization Meeting

The next day, on the first floor of Chang'an City, businessmen who applied for mining arrived early today.

Yu Jingming, Hao Dayi, Ma Zhou, Liu Tong, Liang Ming, and Qin Yu had already arrived, as well as officials from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry. The atmosphere in the entire hall is very serious.

There were hundreds of businessmen sitting behind, and there was no movement at the moment.

Yuan Shan started talking as soon as he walked to the front of the microphone.

"Hi everyone, this official is You Pushe, the chief officer of the Ministry of Economic Development. Datang Mining Company is affiliated to the Ministry of Economic Development. It is mainly responsible for the management, supervision and sales of Datang Mining. I would like to introduce it to everyone here. Because for a long time in the future, if the merchants who have obtained the mining authorization have a task, they can communicate with us through letters about Datang Mining's problems, opinions, and suggestions. If there are reports or other problems, it is inconvenient When you come forward, you can throw anonymous letters and the mailboxes of any government-run stores opened by the Ministry of Economic Development." Yuan Shan said.

What was said at the beginning, even the people in the sixth part were a little shocked. I didn't expect to say these things at the beginning of this kind of formal occasion, but it was quite novel.

Today, there are several people who came out of the six parts, and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were among them, as well as Changsun Wuji, and even Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde all came to join in the fun, but they didn't seem to care about these things. Not interested, just to watch the excitement.

"After investigation and verification of [-] applicants, the Ministry of Economic Development and Development has completed an excess task within the stipulated time. Now this official is holding a list of merchants authorized to mine mining. Before announcing the list, the Ministry The official must take this opportunity to say to all the staff of the Ministry of Economic Development that you have worked hard. Because of your serious efforts, I have this list in my hand. The people who have contributed to the development of Datang Mining are not only Authorized merchants, as well as all staff involved."

After Yuan Shan finished speaking, Yu Jingming, Ma Zhou, Hao Dayi and other dozens of staff present began to applaud. Their applause instantly stirred up the atmosphere of the audience. Many people didn't know the meaning of the applause, but The rich merchants in Chang'an City knew it very well, and a wave of applause immediately mobilized the surrounding merchants, and the atmosphere instantly became enthusiastic.

Although the people in the Six Parts have not experienced such a thing, they have learned from others. If everyone is like this, why should they be reserved? Many people clap their hands involuntarily, and their behavior is at best clapping.

"The clapping ceremony that Yuan Pushe did feels pretty good, I must ask him for advice in the future." This is Li Baiyao, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, muttered.

Changsun Wuji, Cheng Zhijie and the others naturally understood the meaning of applause. They had to do it every time the Yuanjia store opened. How could they not know that even many businesses in Chang'an also followed Yuan Shan's example when they opened. A lot of.

Soon Yuan Shan started to talk again, this time everyone in the audience was very nervous.

"Now I want to read out the names of the 28 authorized businessmen. According to the requirements of the meeting, I will invite those who have read the names to come to the stage together. At that time, everyone will make a short speech. Now... Chang'an businessmen Xue Mushan, Luoyang businessman Lu Ziang, Yuezhou businessman Yu Gui..."

Soon the 28 names were finished. Many businessmen were very excited. They were a little bit ecstatic on the road to the stage. You must know that with this authorization, their wealth will be enough for three generations of children and grandchildren. The premise is that they can continue after five years. In fact, it is not difficult to achieve this. As long as we strictly follow the rules and regulations of Datang Mining Company, there will be no major accidents within five years, and the comprehensive output will reach the standard every two years. It's that simple.

As for the other merchants who were not selected, the main reason is not because of their lack of strength. The key is that the minerals in the state capital where they are located are either undiscovered or not open to the outside world, so naturally they will not be included in this list. In reality This is very cruel, so many people say that good luck is also a kind of strength, which is actually true.

"Everyone, please come to the stage. The 28 of you are lucky. Sometimes strength is as important as luck. I want to congratulate you. Next, let the businessmen talk about their current thoughts..."

The content of this meeting took up more than an hour, and everyone had two or three minutes to speak. These businessmen are very good at speaking, but they basically said the same thing, but this time they really showed their faces.

Then at the authorization ceremony, several officials from the servants and the six ministries issued authorization certificates to these people at the same time, with the words Datang Mining Approved and Approved printed on them, and each certificate had the seals of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty and the six ministries.

"Okay, once again congratulations to these 28 merchants for being authorized by the imperial court." Yuan Shan took the lead and applauded again.

Yuan Shan continued: "After obtaining this authorization certificate, tomorrow you need to go to the Datang Mining Company of the Ministry of Economic Development of Shangshu Province to complete the registration information. At that time, there will be special personnel to explain the relevant knowledge needed for mining. Now I announce This concludes the Datang Mining Mining Authorization Conference."

At this time, many businessmen shouted excitedly. Can they not be excited to get such a big good thing? Now that the venue is over, no one will care about their behavior. The officials from the Six Departments are here to go through a formality. When it's over, they have nothing to do.

When Yuan Shan was about to step down and leave, he saw a group of businessmen gathered around them. They introduced themselves first. How could Yuan Shan remember so many people? At this time, Yuan Shan understood that they just wanted to get acquainted. In fact, Yuanshan doesn't feel disgusted when he meets businessmen, but it doesn't feel good to be surrounded by so many people.

"Everyone, please listen to what I have to say first." Yuan Shan was very careful with his words. In front of these businessmen, he basically would not call himself an official, so he only called him Lord. In this era, calling him is actually a kind of bragging rights. , It will make people look noble, so he is naturally unavoidable.

The people who gathered around immediately became quiet, and Yuan Shan continued: "Master Ben can just rest for a while now, so let's see if everyone wants to communicate, then go to the next meeting room."

The businessmen immediately agreed, and it was the first time that everyone met such an official, so someone said: "All the expenses today will be paid to me, Zhang Yong."

When Yuan Shan heard someone shouting for a treat from behind, his impression of this person became much better in an instant, and he looked back at that person on purpose, and saw that his appearance matched his name quite well, and his personality didn't look like a normal person. A businessman feels more like a hero.

Chapter 514 Zhang Yong

After taking a seat in the meeting room, the man named Zhang Yong immediately called the service staff and said, "Hurry up and order the best fruit plate, juice, snacks and cakes here."

Soon all kinds of fruit plates were placed on the table, probably because this person said that he wanted to treat guests today, this person named Zhang Yong sat in the seat closest to Yuanshan.

"To be honest, there are so many businessmen from Datang gathered in Chang'an City this time, and the only ones that the Marquis is familiar with are the businessmen from Chang'an. There is still some time for everyone to chat casually." Yuan Shan said.

The snacks and fruits and vegetables provided on the first floor of this season are not polite. Most of these are supplied by Xinfeng Greenhouse. Out-of-season fruits and vegetables are not cheap.

Seeing Yuan Shan being so eloquent, all the businessmen immediately liked him very much. Zhang Yong said at this time: "The villain has admired Lord Hou for a long time, and they all say that Lord Hou is the God of Wealth in this world. If possible, I hope Lord Hou can support him."

Yuan Shan listened too much to flattery, but he didn't have any dislike for these people, because if he were in their situation, he might do the same thing as them.

"Everything that Lord Hou does is for the good of Datang, but we feel that there are still many projects to develop and build Datang. The 28 mines are just the beginning. Although we have not been able to apply for it, maybe we still have the opportunity to carry out other projects. , as long as Lord Hou says a word, I, Zhang Yong, will definitely use all my strength." Zhang Yong said.

At this moment, Yuan Shan felt that Zhang Yong was a bit interesting. Such a businessman had a quick brain, and he seized the opportunity to express his determination. He had a good impression of this person just now, but now he feels a bit sour.

"Is it true that you can do your best with just one sentence? Why do you feel that you have the feeling of controlling other people's life and death? Master Ben wants to ask, is he thinking about doing business, or is he thinking about doing business for officials? He can use all means for profit. Ben Hou is very disgusted and even disgusted. Your actions are breaking the rules and will not end well in the end. Ben Hou is a very upright and just man. A businessman should do his business well. Don’t be a day Do these silly things at night, otherwise you will hurt yourself in the end if you hurt others, so please do it yourself." After scolding, Yuan Shan turned his head and left.

A group of businessmen were left in a daze.

"Hmph, what's there to be proud of." Zhang Yong's eyes were full of unwillingness and contempt.

Zhang Yong is a businessman from Huazhou. He said he was a businessman. In fact, he worked for Li Yuanchang, the governor of Huazhou. Li Yuanchang, the seventh son of Li Yuan, is now the king of Lu. Embarrassment, in fact, as Li Shimin's brothers, there is no embarrassment.

It’s just that this Li Yuanchang is not useless. After being awarded the governor of Huazhou, he managed a good business. Zhang Yong came to Chang’an this time to work for Li Yuanchang. Mining is a matter of making money. Many princes are working hard behind the scenes. But nothing happened in Huazhou.

Zhang Yong was very brave and fierce when he was young. Later, he ran to the south to seek refuge due to grievances with others. Along the way, he did business with his boss to make a living. The opportunity explained Lu Wang Li Yuanchang, and the result was that the two had a happy chat and formed a team.

King Lu's influence is not big but not small. Zhang Yong has made a lot of money in the past few years by running a business in Chang'an West City. He has deep trust in Li Yuanchang. After going to Huazhou, he is like a fish in water. Now He can also be regarded as a big businessman in Huazhou.

However, after Li Shimin destroyed the Turks in Monan, he intended to suppress and exclude members of the Li family and clan. In this tense state, Zhang Yong's ambitions were also extremely inflated.What Li Er can do, why Li Qi can't.

And Zhang Yong's ambition is to hope that one day King Lu can do something as big as Li Er. For this reason, he doesn't like to do everything. Taking the opportunity to curry favor with Yuan Shan today is also his usual method. The person who is the king of Lu will have more bargaining chips, but he was rejected by Yuan Shan before he was corrupted. Zhang Yong originally had nothing, but he became a rich man in a blink of an eye. The means are also appalling.

The moment Yuan Shan rejected him, this Zhang Yong already held a grudge. This is actually a person's paranoia. I said before that he is willing to give everything for his ambition. There are many times when a person recognizes that he must do well. In fact, his mentality has changed when something happened.

Focusing on Yuan Shan is just to find a breakthrough for his paranoia.

Yuan Shan came out of the conference room, and didn't take it seriously when he broke up with those businessmen just now. When he came out, he saw Cheng Zhijie and others still staying in the hall.

"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Yuchi, Uncle Changsun, you haven't left yet." Yuan Shan said hello.

There was no one around, and it was not inappropriate for this court servant to call them uncles.

"We are waiting for you." Changsun Wuji said.

"Wait for me, what's up with the uncles?" Yuan Shan asked curiously.
